You are being pedantic. You are so busy picking apart my answers, you’ve lost track of the discussion. So, let’s just say if this happens in a rural hospital, they do not have the facilities to deal with it.

I’m not picking apart your answers.

I’m stating plainly that only a few hospitals can deal with this without infecting all the medical people, the lab people, the cleaning people and most of the rest of the patients.

And still we aren’t testing...

And in rural hospitals it won’t make a difference if they test. All will get it and have nothing but MAYBE palliative care to handle it.

"...if this happens in a rural hospital, they do not have the facilities to deal with it."

In most cities, they won't have the first responder services to deal with it.

There will be plenty of muggings, burglaries, shootings, stabbings, etc. for paramedics to respond to. They will have to be in full biohazard garb not matter what they respond to, so following those protocols is going to take a lot of time and decrease the amount of calls they can respond to anyway.

911 won't even respond if you call in because a family member is sick, they will say hospitals are full, quarantine at home. If you can get the family member to the hospital, that's fine, but you probably won't be seen today.

They will have to slow everything they do way down and follow very careful protocols for the safety of the hospital workers, or they won't come to work. This isn't China.
